`there was a re-examination of
`re*examination of
`the Hair patents, certain
`some of what I'11 calf
`patents with a named inventor of Arthur Hair, which
`I believe are the patents-in-suit
`in this case, so
`those the Hair patents, and there was a
`I'll
`call
`re-exam of some of the Hair patents. And at that
`that there was counsel from General

`re-examination.
`And who \,vas that counsel?

`So all of my investment funds are put into

`
`though, have not Looked at the specific portfolio of
`stocks that they invest in, so I don't know whether
`these mutual funds have any investment in General
`Electrlc or SightSound or for that matter any other
`company. I simply invest in them in an attempt to,
`to a stock
`for example, 9et performance similar
`such as the NASDAQ 500, for
`index, such as the
`
`interest?

`So you are not a\ivare of any financial

`Do you have any interest

`Now, now that you have your declarations

`in front of you, let me lust qo back to my questions
`in the art.
`about a person of ordinary ski1l
`So
`your opinions in these two declarations are based on
`in the art would view
`how a person of ordinary skill
`the claim terms as used in the context of the
`SightSound patents
`correct ?
`as of 1988,
`that form, yes.
`them were of
`Many of
`A.
`terms for which you

`You
`did not use that standard?

`THE WITNESS: Not as I sit here, ilo.
`If you see one todaY
`MS. FUKUDA: Q.
`during the course of the deposition for which you

`did not apply a person of ordinary sklll
`as of 19BB standard, let me know.
`I'11 do my best.

`THE VVITNESS: So one point that has
`changed is, on page B, if you look at the top line,
`is true, ât that time/ some telephonic
`I say, "It

`took place
`local calls)
`this
`entirely along copper wires."
`I'm sorry,

`It's Exhibit 65.
`MS. FUKUDA: Q. Okay.
`So that was much less true
`That's right.
`
`A.
`in 1993.
`And how is that less true in 1993?
`O.
`by I993l many local switches had
`The

`updated and did not use purely twisted pair means to
`So by 1993, it was no lonqer

`MS. FUKUDA: Q. Okay. I'm going to turn
`to Exhibit 65, page 3. And looking
`your attention
`at paragraph 9, if you skip to the second sentence/
`you say here, "For present purposes/ a 'person of
`is one with an
`in the art'
`ordinary skill
`undergraduate degree in computer scíence or
`efectrical engineering or an equivalent levef of
`from working in the industry
`knowledge and ability
`for an appropriate number of years. " Just a couple
`of questions. What do you mean by "an equivalent
`l-evel of knowledge and abifit-y"?
`Oh, welf, sometimes we see people who
`A.
`don't have a degree in electrical engineering or
`computer science. Maybe their degree is in physics.
`And after receivíng a degree, they wísh to work 1n
`the computer industry. So after a certain number of
`familiar with the
`years, they become sufficiently
`ideas that they basically know as much as someone
`who has an undergraduate degree. So that would be
`an example of equivalent experience.
`You had mentioned working for a number of
`O.
`years. Ab,out how many years to achieve that
`equivalent level of knowledge?
`Well, it would depend on the individual.

`
`It would also depend on the background. So someone
`with a degree in physics or mathematics might find
`this sort of transition easier than someone with a
`degree in philosophy, for example. Although I
`certainly know people with backgrounds in all
`areas who educate themselves and became very
`in the
`competent, at least people of ordinary skill
`for example, I could easily

`imagine that someone, you know, depending on the

`the subject matter of the

`the electronics
`the computer industry,
`patent.
`It's
`I mean, in that
`industry. And in particular,
`I think that this applies, but in
`context,
`given the topic of these patents, that
`particular,
`for example, the computer
`would incfude working in,
`of video or
`industry, which involved digitization
`audio information.

`of video or audio information?
`the digitization
`Certainly not. So the test is not the
`A.
`number of years that you've been workíng. The test
`ls that you have an equivalent level of knowledqe.
`So when someone has an equivalent level of knowledge
`from working in the area, then that person would be
`ready to move ahead.
`ready to
`For example, the founder of Apple
`I'm not sure if he was the
`computers, Steve Jobs
`founder. At least he's very cÌoseÌy associated with
`I understand from press reports
`Apple computers.
`that he never received an undergraduate degree. Yet
`I think that I would certainly classify him as a
`in the arL,
`person of at least ordinary skitf
`because through his work, he had developed an
`equivalent level of knowledge.
`Yeah, I think I'm just trying
`to
`O.
`three industries,
`understand. You had listed
`of
`computers, electronics, and the diqitization
`I'm just trying
`to get
`video or audio information.

`ordinary skill

`or one of the three.

`computer science or electrical engineering or an
`equivalent level of knowledge and ability
`from
`for an appropriate number of
`working in the industry
`years. So how would you go about determining

`knowledge and ability
`for an appropriate number of years?
`asking that
`Vrlell , if you're asking me
`A.
`question of me personally, since I am a professor of
`computer science, I was a professor of computer
`science in 1988, it would be very straightforward.
